All out of Gum, err, Games: Duke Nukem Titles now on the Site
If I can go a week without thinking or saying the name “Duke Nukem” I’ll be happy. I’ve had a placeholder page up almost since the site launched because I knew fleshing it out would be a lot of work. Turns out, there was even more work to be done than I was expecting. Thanks

iOS 11 in 2018 Threatens to Delist 32-Bit Apps & Games
Having only ever owned one Apple product, the original iPad, I’ll let this succinct quote from Kotaku sum up the situation. “iOS 11 is currently in beta, but even now, some 32-bit games aren’t showing up in the App Store.
